Paradise Vendors

Product Notes

Members: Charly Rossman vocals, guitar and Calvin Rossman guitar, piano, and saxophone. All-stars: Aaron DeAnda percussion, Eric Ritz bass, Stephanie Mason and AJ Speed vocals. Studio: MegaSound Engineer: Chris Sleight All songs written by: Calvin and Charly Rossman This Bio stuff is hard for me I'm not much of a self-promoter so I'll do my best. Idea conceived in 1996. The album is a "gallery of our musical back pages" We've been around for a long time playing and listening to other peoples' stuff and just decided it was our turn. A lot of the songs are about our traveling adventures. Johnny Sanchez: is an actual person we met in Costa Rica in the 80's, pre-rich gringo days. For those of you who can remember, think Ricardo Montoban with a pencil thin mustache smoking a Cuban cigarillo in cheap racing sunglasses eyeing the lovely touristas. It's also dedicated to our good travelin friend Mike who recently died of cancer who without him we would never have gone. Little Miss Perfect: Just listen to the words fellas. Saw her in Puerto Vallarta on one of those tourist junkets. The Bitter End: These Reno, Nevada grifters in this picture have seen bitter days Venus Motel by the Beach: Written in Lincoln, Or in our swanky motel room but was based on a friends tryst in Mexico. Vera: All American family man gets in over his head with red high heels and jeans Aurora Waits: Thoughts of suicide engulf this young girl as she dives off this famous Seattle landmark but in the end finds redemption waiting at the bottom through a spiraling liquid portal. Web City Blues: Ode to "Death of a Salesman" White Tango: Scene: Southern California motorcycle gang takes over a screenwriters' fancy house in Beverly Hills. Carry Me Away: A wistfully existential look at our modern dilemma There you have it. Hope you like what you hear. From two shy guys from Seattle with over active imaginations Charly and Calvin Rossman. Any review would be highly appreciated! Thanks.
